Still Playing: Ace Combat 6 Fires Of Liberation

EDGE - Namco’s Ace Combat series is one of those unsung stalwarts that rarely gets a mention in the greater gaming culture, yet for its fanbase it provides a near-ideal package that’s always improving with each iteration. With Ace Combat 6, the principal improvement was graphical, but it was so striking that it still sits in my current games pile for semi-regular play. My reasoning for this is pretty nostalgic, somewhat geeky, and hinges entirely on the Free Flight mode.
